“Yes, but He’s Sincere about Being a Bigot” 0
You can’t make this stuff up (emphasis added).
“Specifically, I plan to propose a new section in Article I – the Pennsylvania ‘bill of rights’ – that will prohibit government from punishing an individual or entity if the individual or entity makes hiring or other employment decisions, or provides services, accommodations (including housing accommodations), advantages, facilities, goods or privileges based on sincerely held beliefs,” the memo says.
When I grew up in the Jim Crow South, I knew many folks who made “hiring or other employment decisions, or provide(d) services, accommodations (including housing accommodations), advantages, facilities, goods or privileges” based on sincerely held beliefs–beliefs that they had the God-given right to lord it over darkies, wimmens, and any one else who was not a white folk like them.
Folks who think like that were bigots then, they are bigots now, and they will be bigots tomorrow.
These are folks who put the “sin” in sincerity.
